LATIN AMERCAN GALLERIES AT THE ARMORY SHOW 2023

Sargent’s Daughters

The gallery Sargent’s Daughters presents Flor Modernista, a solo presentation of new works by New York-based painter Carlos Rosales Silva. In this latest body of work, Rosales-Silva continues his ongoing exploration of midcentury design in Mexico with works whose geometries reference architectural forms and the visual language of Modernism.  A touchstone for is the work of Luis Barragán, whose home in Mexico City, built in 1948, is considered a masterpiece for its blend of traditional and Modernist elements. The iconic cantilever staircase from the office of Casa Barragán is quoted in silhouette on the rear wall of the booth. In a similar gesture, Rosales-Silva’s work simultaneously evokes and distorts Barragán’s clean lines and saturated colors, at once paying homage and offering a new perspective. 

Zielinsky

The Ibero-American gallery Zielinksy presents Brazilian artist Vera Chaves Barcellos in a solo show with a selection of works conceived between the period from 1969 to 2007. The gallery is participating for the first time at the Focus section.

From the beginning of her career, Vera Chaves Barcellos has been interested in the reuse of pre-existing images taken from the media to develop works using video, photography, engraving and installation. The artist’s research takes as its starting point the relationship between the body and time: performing characters and narratives from the past and the future, focusing on stories that were left out of historiography, documenting and collecting archive materials from local events or from personal memory.
